"Blame it all on Xie QiYi. He is too impulsive in his actions. Originally, Father was willing to marry you to Xie Honglang, but now that this incident has happened, the problem is not so simple anymore," Yuan Hongshen said with a touch of helplessness on his handsome and resolute face. He had always doted on his younger sister and wanted her to be happy.
However, with the Xie family provoking the Yuan family, if Xie Honglang and Liu Xuerong were to marry, everyone would assume that the Xie and Liu families had formed an alliance.
So far, the family had not made a decision, and it was troublesome.
There was a hint of disappointment in Liu Xuerong's expression. If only she hadn't been so stubborn before.
Who could have imagined that such a big trouble would arise because of a contract beast?
"But, Big Brother, it's all Xie QiYi's fault. Xie Honglang is not like that," Liu Xuerong couldn't help but speak up.
In her eyes, Xie Honglang cared for her and had good character. Most importantly, she had already developed feelings for him.
A pensive look flashed in Liu Hongshen's eyes. "Although Xie QiYi has exceptional talent in cultivation, his conduct leaves much to be desired. I think Xie Honglang is better than him in terms of character."
He had also interacted with Xie Honglang and believed that Xie Honglang's character was superior to Xie QiYi's.
Unfortunately, the Xie family only valued Xie QiYi's strength and did not consider anything else, which was truly frustrating.
"What should I do then?" Liu Xuerong couldn't help but look at Liu Hongshen. He had always been good to her since childhood, and she could only hope that Liu Hongshen could find a solution for her.
Liu Hongshen sighed softly, "There's no need to rush for now. Let's take it step by step."
Soon, a man in his twenties appeared in everyone's sight. His round face was adorned with a warm smile.
He was different from the ordinary charming and elegant men. He appeared very adorable, especially when he smiled, the deep dimples made people unconsciously feel a fondness for him.
"Welcome, everyone, to this auction. I am the auctioneer, Tong Jingshuo!"
As the man spoke, applause erupted from the crowd. The auctioneer easily won people's favor.
"I believe everyone has been looking forward to this auction for a long time. This auction is filled with treasures that have been carefully prepared by our auction house. I'm sure it won't disappoint you all.
Without further ado, let's begin with the first item up for auction!"
Tong Jingshuo raised his right hand, and a female servant walked up to the stage, holding the first auction item wrapped in red silk. Instantly, everyone's gaze turned towards the item.
However, compared to others' attention, the four people in the Bai Li Hongzhuang's box calmly sipped their tea.
The items in this auction were indeed good, but the items in the early stages did not pique their interest. They were simply waiting for the items they were interested in to appear.
"Hongzhuang, have you set your eyes on any auction item?" Yuan Liqing asked curiously.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly and didn't hide it. "I have my eyes on this sheepskin scroll. It feels quite distinctive, and I want to bid for it and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Liqing's gaze also fell on the sheepskin scroll. She had noticed it before, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Why is this sheepskin scroll placed towards the later part? Could it be a treasure? It doesn't seem like it," Yuan Liqing said, her face showing a hint of doubt. She couldn't quite understand it.
